187302 2003-10-28 11:48:00 Hi
I have been usig mozilla firebird 0.7 since it became available, previously used normal mozilla (both very good, user friendly)
very occasionally I get a site that requires shockwave
I had downloaded a version which asks which browser you want to install it for
only mozilla 1.3.1 was available, no option to install in firebird.
Selecting browse the the firebird folder did not work as it required a plugin folder to install
any ideas or will I have to use mozilla to view the site?

thanks

187303 2003-10-28 11:59:00 You should be able to just point it to the Plugins folder in your MozillaFirebird installation directory.

Worked for me back on 0.5.. Havent had to view flash since :-)

187304 2003-10-28 12:10:00 found the plugins folder, tried to install but came up with
" you must select a netscape plugins folder to install into"
I thought mozilla was based on netscape or vice versa?
thanks

187305 2003-10-28 16:49:00 Mozilla was developed by Netscape and was the original code name for their browser but Mozilla is now open source code. See here (www.mozilla.org) if you want to know the full story. parry (27)
